The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES) Program released the draft Sponsor Guide and Reference Manual (v1.5)(Sponsor Guide) for public comment in response to the need for greater clarity of HPwES Program requirements. The Sponsor Guide is a technical document that outlines the requirements for Sponsors' participation in the national Program, as well as provides resources for program implementation and best practices. DOE is interested in hearing comments on all aspects of the Sponsor Guide including: format, usability, readability, content, and whether it provides a clear, meaningful definition of HPwES.

Comments are due to homeperformance@energystar.gov by Thursday, July 18. Comments can be submitted in the format that works best for you: email attachment, track changes in a Word or PDF file, or by scheduling a call with a member of the HPwES Team.

Cortney Krauss joined SRA International in 2011. She supports the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Home Performance with Energy Star and Home Energy Score programs, as well as the Maryland Energy Administration’s Maryland Home Performance with Energy Star program.
